Many Western farmers ent ertain the
idea that seve raj successive crops OF
corn can be raised without decreasing
the fertility of prairie soil, and they
are only convinced of their error when
their fields fail to make fair return
for the labor that is expended ON them.
Corn ranks among the grass-feeders.
and its supply Of food should not be
stinted. Land devoted to corn should
receive some plant food every year.
If there is not sufficient sta
BILE and barn-yard manure for
the purpose. clover and other grain
crops should be raised and turned un.
der. Cornstalks. if cut and buried by

fertility of the soil. 1t is as easy %
cut up field of corn that yields seven
ty bushels per acre as one that yields
but thirty bushels. and the labor OF
husking is scarcely greater, as the ears
are larger. The larger the crop Of
corn the better is its quality. When
the yield is small many of the ears
will be classed as ''nubbins' They
will be likely to mold if put in crib
or bin. 1t will be difficult to remove
the grain from them. and still more
difficult to obtain a market for it. A
fine field of corn is a source of delight
as well as of profit. 1t is an ornament

has free tickets to theaters, gets wedding

does. While other folks have to go to bed

PRUDENT PIRCH.
He Turns His Numerous offspring
to lsraticaz Account.

Los angeles Times. april IL.
A queer use Tor children has been dis
covered, and as soon as the scheme be-
come generally known the chances are
that youngsters will be in greater demand
than'they were since the world began. A
farmer named August Pirch, who lives
near Garysnz, is the happy possessor OF a
dozen. fine, healthy children. These
youngsters grow fast, eat three or four
hearty meals q day, and the way they
wear out cloths is enough to make q
wooden factory think q cyclone had struck
it. Mr.. Pirch has been in hot water with
his little fishes for years, and was about to
give up in despair when q bright idea
struck him. He had a tract OF land that
could not be used for the want of water.
But how to irrigste the land without
spending q large sum Of money was q
mystery. A ditch would cost thousands
of dollars, but corner lots have not been so
plentiful in the Pirch family as the happy
father could have wished, and his bank
book simply showed G balance Of a few
hundreds instead of thousands. He fig
ured on the cost of a well and found that
be could stand q sixty-foot we'll. q cheap
pump and Ole of those big family swings
which are noticed at pleasure-gsrdens and
German picnic grounds. The we'll was
bored, the pump WAS set up, and the swings
put in working order.
"Here. you little rascals," said the
elder Pircb TO his little fishes. "come out
here and get in this swing. I'm going to
give you something to play with" In
five minutes the children we're flying back
and forth through the air. The pump
worked up and down. making q merry
tune, and q fourteen. inch stream of water
flowed from the we'll. The children don't
know that they are working, as the swing
is some distance from the we'll. and ia
connected by IN iron rod which works
the pump. az the swing yibrates back and
forth. Mr.. Pirch is positive that the
youngsters will pump enough water during
the day to irrigate q large tract of land.
